In Popular Culture
U2 lead singer Bono referenced his disdain for Goldman in the song "God Part II" from the album Rattle and Hum:
- "Don't believe in Goldman
- His type like a curse
- Instant Karma's gonna get him
- If I don't get him first"
The American television program Saturday Night Live had a season 14 sketch in which it was revealed that Albert Goldman, portrayed by Phil Hartman, was the fifth member of the Beatles, playing trompet, but the band, supported by Elvis Presley, decides to fire him, a task they leave to John, with Elvis backing him up, ostensibly fueling Goldmans lifelong hatred of the two.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Parents’ ability to survive a child’s unabating needs, wants, and demands...varies enormously. Some people can give and give....Whether children are good or bad, brilliant or just about normal, enormously popular or born loners, they keep their cool and say just the right thing at all times...even when they are miserable themselves, inexhaustible springs of emotional energy, reserved just for children, keep flowing unabated.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
